Sure it’s a little early for Christmas, but I just ran across these old scans I made of some pictures of my award-winning door decorations. The command I was stationed at (LFTCLant) had a contest every year, and mine was the winning decoration three years in a row. I added pictures to my gallery of both my sketches and the actual decoration.

They got increasingly sophisticated as the years went on. The second year featured some animation — the elves you see outside Santa’s window were on a moving scroll of paper so they appeared to be loading the sleigh. The third year had an actual water wheel with a hidden pump and resevoir, and the skaters actually skated around in a circle.
